Letting Loose and Painting Away

Saturday, September 17, 2011

This is a quick color and light study of the stairs leading up to the school building.

La Luce (The Light), oil on canvas panel, ~6" x 8", 9-15-11

This morning I made a portrait of a lovely artist here. My goal was to be loose and free with the color to capture the character of the girl and her boots :)

Sarah, The Mountain Climber, oil on canvas panel, 14” x 11”, 9-17-2011

Image of the day (I was looking through a book and was just completely enthralled by this image):

Giovanni Bellini, The Dead Christ with Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and Saint Mary Magdalene

  1. Two great pieces! I LOVE the boots! Did you take a picture and use it as reference? I love the spontaneity of it and the colors. The sense of depth and "realism" is great. It's a lot different from your other work; I'm glad you're exploring new things!
